Quite a smackdown. I agree that Newt is a narcissist. That's why he goes on and on. He's way too dangerous to be president. I am convinced he'd try to DO way too much. He is too grandiose. And let's face it, he couldn't even hack the Speaker's gig.

ET, I started to post this from CNN, who had picked it up, and then I decided to just go to the source (Creator's Syndicate). I forgot to change the location name before posting.

--It's not CNN.

For a moment there my hopes skyrocketed.

Essentially, he is correct in his summation of Gingrich as self-promoting and self-aggrandizing, but the politician who is not is so rare as to be almost fictional-- ego is usually what gets them and keeps them there.

But Gingrich, at least, relies on the power of ideas to drive interest in him as a candidate. Clinton simply regurgitated what the polls told him to. I'd say a candidate with ideas beats the same candidate with only the ability to triangulate.

His books are quite good, however. I found them to be surprisingly good.

But, after all, I will be president before Mr. Gingrich. And I'm not going to run.

Contrary to what we are supposed to believe about this "anti-clinton" politician, Newt shut down many investigations of the clinton crime machine. One wonders what they had on him in those FBI files.

>> Springing from the same late 1960s jugendkultur as the Boy President, <<

Grand Prize Nominee, for senseless use of a big, foreign word to make oneself look smart:

Emmet Tyrell, for using "Jugenkultur" instead of "Youth Culture."

That's the theme music playing now! Sing along!

The infinitessimal arachnid ascended the aqueus suspensor
Precipitation descended, disestablishing the arachnid's spatial positioning
The Solar body emerged, dessicating the environmental millieu,
and the infintessimal arachnic reasserted his incumbent liebensraum.

IF Newt gets the party nod I will vote for him no matter who the RATS nominate.

clintoons "neutered" Newt long ago. He's so ineffective as a leader.
